BELLE ÉPOQUE BLANC DE BLANCS
The eyeBright, shimmering gold with subtle glints of green. Exceptionally fine bubbles.
The noseAromas of white flowers with subtle overtones of honey, pear, pineapple and candied lemon.
The palateCrisp and fresh in the mouth. Full and rich, with a long, silken, elegant finish.
For its elegance, its refinement and its wonderful, silken texture, I associate Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs with the finest satin.SÉVERINE FRERSON

No edition of this exceptional cuvée numbers more than 40,000 bottles.
The moment
Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs is an exceptional champagne for exceptional celebrations,” says Séverine Frerson. “I consider it a wine for gastronomy, ideally paired with noble seafood – a carpaccio of scallops with citrus zest, seabass in a salt crust, turbot, lobster or langoustines, for example.
Giant glorious champagne so flowingly rich that you are dazzled by the vanilla-powdered nectar-like tasteful essence. Yellow juicy fruit with notes of coconut, mango and burgundy buttercream. Chardonnay in its essence.RICARD JUHLIN
